EMPLOYEES of the Provincial Government of Negros Occidental are expecting that Governor Eugenio Jose Lacson will announce the amount of additional bonuses they will receive on his birthday on Monday, December 13, 2021.
Renelo Lastierre, president of the Progressive Alliance of Capitol Employees (Pace), said Tuesday, December 7, that they have recommended to the governor four possible sources of these benefits.
Among which are the Collective Negotiation Incentive bonus, which is a maximum of P25,000, Productivity Enhancement Incentive (PEI), Incentive Benefits for Exemplary Services (IBES) and Service Recognition Incentive (SRI), Lastierre said.
But he said the amount to be given under PEI, IBES and SRI will be determined by Lacson.
"We expect the additional bonus will be the maximum allowed by law," he also said.
Earlier, Provincial Administrator Rayfrando Diaz II said the additional bonus for more than 3,000 Capitol employees will be more over P40,000, the amount that was given last year.
Lastierre had assured them that the Provincial Government has sufficient funds for the bonus.
Also on his birthday, Lacson is expected to lead the lights on ceremonies at the Provincial Lagoon and Park and might announce the amount of the bonus.
The bonus of the Provincial Government's employees is expected to be released on or before December 25.
